CH1 occupies an 8-story, 443,000 sq ft building at 840 S. Canal Street in downtown Chicago, one of the city's established carrier-hotel-adjacent colocation sites. The facility draws 32 MW of utility power and delivers 21.5 MW of IT capacity across roughly 130,000 sq ft of data hall space, supporting densities up to 150 W/sq ft. Cooling runs through a central water-cooled chiller plant with waterside economizers, which ServerFarm reports yields a PUE of 1.4. Connectivity includes 13 telecom carriers across two meet-me rooms, on-ramps to AWS, Azure and GCP, and direct access to metro and long-haul fiber network tunnel ducts roughly 55 feet below Canal Street. ServerFarm markets the site to enterprise and hyperscale colocation tenants seeking downtown Chicago proximity to the 350 E Cermak carrier-hotel ecosystem. No Tier rating or SOC/ISO certification is disclosed on the operator's facility page.
